Abby (an Austrailian Shepherd) was our house guest for the weekend. Nellie and Abby play together almost daily and are great friends - they delight in eating each others food and hogging the couch! They both LOVE the water and it is very hard to keep them out. To distract them yesterday, we walked the trails around our property searching for the last colours of fall...we weren't disappointed .....
A few Maples and .....
...the Red Oaks are the only trees still ablaze with colour,
Beneath the pines the ground is littered with cones after last week's storm.....
Telling jokes in the compost pile........
The common "weed" Goldenrod takes on a new look as the yellow fades.....
The 'Royal Purple" Smokebush glows in the afternoon light.....
Like the energizer bunny, the Champlain Rose (an Explorer Rose) keeps going and going and going......

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. " Nellie " is a 5 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. She is very light coloured with cottony, curly hair. We have to clip her regularly as she is a non shedding breed -lovable, loves everyone and every other creature, which sometimes gets her into trouble!
